Well, it’s time the masses became are of it, but Houston is the worst bandwagon city in the USA behind Miami. It sucks, I’ve been with this team since formation, back when a bunch of whack jobs wanted the expansion team to be called the “Rebels”. But this influx the last couple years has been ridiculous. I mean, who the hell burns a jersey at a game or boos any injured player? Perhaps this season is like God flooding the earth and sparing Noah. It’d be nice to knock these frauds off the bandwagon.

It wasn’t like he was out cold or writhing from a knee injury…
Know what I think is barbaric? Juicing up as a drug cheat, behaving like a roid-raging lunatic literally drooling and foaming at the mouth, and then claiming the positive test was just because you work out so hard, like the Chinese women who were running 150 miles a week… and still sticking by that hilarious bullbleep, refusing to take any responsibility whatsoever for your actions. That’s barbaric. Just shut up, Roger Roider.

Why play for Johnny football? He will not be a good NFL QB, he is nothing but hype. Sure he’s good in college, but hey so was Tebow and look where he is now. Johnny football is going to be nothing but Ryan Leaf 2.0

As a Texans fan, I am thoroughly disgusted and disappointed in my city. We are NOT all that ridiculous, so do not classify us all that way. I don’t get what these idiots think cheering when he gets hurt will do? Absolutely nothing but make your team mad and make other fans look at you like a bunch of tools. SUPPORT YOUR TEAM!! Or get the hell out!

Look guys, I hear where you say us Texans fans are horrible and whatnot, it’s not us as a fan base. It’s the individuals who are making us look bad. No one should ever cheer for a fallen player. I LOVE the Texans, and I know we’ll be alright. I hate the individuals who are making us real Texans fans look bad.
Hopefully we can look past those individuals and continue to be a positive fan base for our Texans!

I think any fan base with a similar QB situation is capable of doing that cause I’ve seen many fans of many teams do that in my thirty years of watching pro football. That being said Cushing is right! It is barbaric. I believe every fanbase has some non-classy, jerks (some more than others), but living in Houston I’ve met many classy fans. They just want a title like every fan does. I was surprised though when I heard people in the sports bar cheering, but not too much, and it was only a handful of people.

I think it says a whole lot more about the human garbage element one finds in NFL stadiums these days than it does about any one city or team. It’s an experience not worth the money anymore–unless you are in a luxury suite on someone else’s dime.

The Texans have been lucky for many years now and won many close games they shouldn’t have. They are at best a 500 team and finally the rooster came home to roost this year. Same goes with the Falcons, another very lucky 500 ay best team. So happy to be over both those Cinderella stories and not have to see either of these 2 Losers in the playoffs this year!

Cushing’s right. I’m not happy with the Steelers right now, and not happy with Roethlisberger. But those are my guys and that’s my QB. I’d never boo my team or cheer a player’s injury. Did they ever stop to think that doesn’t exactly inspire the team to play better?

The cheering of an injured ineffective player by fans is not only
not barbaric & certainly not inhumane.The fans aren’t cheering the injury to the player.They are merely choosing to express their feeling of joy that another player may bring them. Management has chosen to keep hope when there is none .the fans clearly see things differently & are embracing change … Nothing more than that.

I was at the game, and yes a few idiots got noisier when Schaub went down. That does not categorize an entire fan base, or city. The a few of us gave him courtesy applause coming out – I guess that counted as cheering he was hurt?

The real loud cheer was when TJ went in. And who wouldn’t cheer for the backup coming in if your starting QB gave up a pick six every game?

This is silly on both accounts. First of all fans aren’t cheering for the player to be injured they were cheering because they think a change at QB was needed. It’s no different than a player who makes a big hit, celebrates only to find out the opposing player is seriously injured. The player wasn’t celebrating the injury, just the hit. As far as the camera scathing JJ watt and Cushing laughing? Oh please say it isn’t so? Players are human and might laugh at something even though they are losing? You can take anything out of context and make it seem horrendous. I have no problem with either thing, the fans cheering or the players being human and laughing about something. Being overly sensitive will be the ruin of this country.

Hey Crabcakes…take it youre from New England since those are the only things of any worth that manage to ooze from your part of the country. Classless morons? You must not go to Bruins or Patriots games. Texans fans are classless and it is a loser city but for a New Englander to criticize Texas….now thats moronic.

Or the Apollos!!! That’s just atrocious. 2002 and on I’ve stood by this team. Do i think Schaub is the answer, no. But he’s currently the best option we have I believe. I’d love to see Keenum get a shot, though. I’ll be happy to see the true fans back in force rather than the 2010 bandwagonners.

Cheered when he got up and left. Just like I do every player. Not because they are hurt. Give me a break.

Cheered louder when TJ came in. Will cheer even louder when they get rid of the head coach and special teams coach. Unfortunately, our owner is awful and doesn’t understand the fans frustration or how awful his team is. Blown out by the Rams. Let me repeat myself, blown out by the Rams. Wow.

Did a Titans fan just talk about another fan base lacking class? This is from the organization which brought you Jeff Fisher’s filthy ways, Albert Haynesworth’s psychotic stomping of Andre Gurode, Corty McFinnegan’s sociopathic behavior on a weekly basis, and brought Gregg Williams back into the NFL. And how could I forget, your owner is one of the worst human beings to ever associate with the NFL.

And as usual, someone shows up to make a tired post about the use of “we” in commenting on a team. Wow, imagination abounds on football blogs 🙄

Honey, football teams would not exist without the fans who love them. Owners sell; coaches leave; players graduate, retire, or jump ship. Heck, teams even flee for new cities. Only the fans remain, steadfastly buying tickets and merchandise, and tuning in so the Rooneys and those like them can profit from those huge television contracts. I’ve been “with” the Steelers longer than almost anyone in the organization not named Rooney. And if I want to claim them as my team, I will.

Now that sound you hear is probably Mama calling you upstairs for dinner.

Fans have the right to boo. They are paying the bills. On the other hand it’s not right when a player is hurt, these fans are acting like Philly fans. Having served at McGuire AFB eight years during my career, It was an honor to be the guest of the Eagles, Phillies and 76ers numerous times supporting our troops. But having served around the country with pro teams nearby the Philly fans were brutal and close behind was Pittsburg Steeler (arrogant) fans. I was actually in a bar in PA and was watching a Steelers game last year, another customer was rooting for the other team and several patrons asked this guy and his group to leave or else. Wow scary. But then again never seen so many fights or potential fights that I did in Philly, besides that aspect, the fans pay the big bucks and have a vote either with a boo or their feet. Don’t get me wrong, 90% of Phillies fans are great. Philly fans to get so close for so many years under Reid, 6-0 with KC, and lose they have persevered and continue to support them. Weak NFC North they have a chance this year.

Someone needs to work on their knowledge of local cuisines.

Yeah, booing/cheering an injured player is as low as it gets, especially your own. However, it’s pretty hard to take Cushing seriously after all his juicing at U$C , in the pros and all his pathetic denials. Then there was him fighting his own teammates during a game and you have a classic roid rage fanatic.

I was at game and a few fans cheered when Matt went down. They stopped pretty quick as they realized how alone they were. Lots of fans left early when they ran ball, down by three scores. (Not trying to win)
Bottom line is I am down 450.00 dollars, my sons first NFL game was not much of a game. If we had watched Tebow playing tennis today I would have been entertained. Tebow may not play tennis but probably would have won anyways! See that is what Schaub, kubiak, lack I will not be denied attitude! My son says he likes the HS football we go to better . Thank you schaub and kubiak you just saved me a lot of money. GO CLEAR SPRING CHARGERS ! !

so what they boo when their QB gets hurt. it’s a messed up game. fans go “all in” for this game. it’s our outlet. there’s no place in this league for feelings. it’s what can you do for my team right now. we’re not watching cross country running here, it’s the NFL, modern day Gladiators.

I’m not from Houston, but I live here now. You folks are throwing a lot of hate and harsh words towards a great city based on the actions and comments of a few low lifes and bandwagon fans.

Houston is a great city with a strong economy and a higher than average household income. I haven’t lived everywhere, but I’d assume it’s a better place to live than Indianapolis, St. Louis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, or Cleveland.

As a Ram fan, all I hear about on PFT and other media is about Houston, how they lost the game and are spiraling downward. Well, there’s a whole other side to the story, and it’s a happy side for a very downtrodden franchise in STL that is finally showing signs of competitiveness. Anyone out there realize that the Rams actually WON THE GAME? Or is it an irrelevant footnote in the funeral march for Houston?

I love it. Go ahead and root on the demise of your team leaders and star athletes Houston “Fans”. All this means is that come free agency time JJ Watt and company will be a little less likely to offer Texan’s Ownership a home town discount or maybe even an all out, “I want out of this town and away from this fan base!”. I hear South Florida is a nice place to live, No State Income Taxes. Wouldn’t be the first prized free agents to elect to move to South Beach.
